Why people switch from Google Meet to Meeto
Nobody needs a Google Account: you start a meeting without signing up, and guests join from the link.
Recording and AI summaries come for $6.99 a month, without a Workspace plan.
Booking pages, the meeting and a website call button live in one account.
The host controls entry with an open room, a knock or a password.
If you already use Google Workspace
Meeto connects to Google Calendar: your booking page reads busy times from it and writes confirmed bookings into it, so you keep Gmail and Calendar while clients meet you in Meeto. See the Google Calendar integration.
Guests who arrive from a link, a booking page or your website join in the browser with no Google Account, and the host decides whether the room is open, needs a knock or has a password.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Google Account to use Meeto?
No. Anyone can start an instant Meeto meeting and share the link without an account, and guests never need one. A free account adds a personal booking page, contacts and 2 connected calendars.
How long can a free Meeto meeting last?
A free Meeto meeting runs for 60 minutes, with warnings 5 minutes and 1 minute before the end. Meeto Pro removes the time limit for $6.99 a month.
Which one records meetings on a cheap plan?
Meeto records on Pro ($6.99 a month) and keeps a transcript and AI summary with the video. Google lists Meet recording from Business Standard; Business Starter and free accounts do not record.
Can guests join both from a browser?
Yes. Both run in the browser without an install. In Google Meet a guest without a Google Account waits until someone lets them in; in Meeto the host decides whether the room is open, needs a knock or has a password.
